- All aboard for a breakneck trip into history, as the author of Wicked Women of Ohio details the Buckeye State&’s most daring train holdups.

Learn about the first peacetime train holdup that took place in North Bend when thieves derailed the Kate Jackson, robbed its passengers and blew the Adam&’s Express safe. Make no mistake—railroading was a dangerous job in bygone days. Includes photos! &“Ohio was plagued by train bandits, too, and some of them were shockingly violent. Journalist Jane Ann Turzillo has researched 10 interesting cases for her book.&” —Akron Beacon Journal
